Red Sox's David Hamilton: Limited to bench role
Hamilton is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Guardians, Mac Cerullo of the Boston Herald reports.
Hamilton will take a seat for the fifth straight contest and looks as though he won't be in store for a regular role at shortstop in the wake of Trevor Story's season-ending shoulder injury. Instead, the Red Sox have moved Ceddanne Rafaela from the outfield to shortstop, opening up a regular spot in the corner outfield for Wilyer Abreu.

Red Sox's David Hamilton: Absent from Monday's lineup
Hamilton is not in the lineup for Monday's contest versus the Guardians.
Hamilton had started six of the last seven games at shortstop, but he will yield to Ceddanne Rafaela on Monday. Red Sox manager Alex Cora said Monday that Wilyer Abreu will become a regular versus righties moving forward, per Rob Bradford of WEEI.com, which would seem to indicate he plans to use Rafaela more at shortstop. It could mean Hamilton squeezed out of regular at-bats.

Red Sox's David Hamilton: Notches second stolen base
Hamilton went 1-for-3 with a walk, two runs scored and a stolen base in Saturday's 7-2 win over the Angels.
Hamilton has now reached base six times in six games and is 2-for-2 in stolen base attempts since being called up last weekend. Unfortunately, he's also struck out seven times in 19 plate appearances and has already made a couple errors at shortstop. Hamilton possesses difference-making speed and should continue to run when he gets on, but his leash as the long-side platoon option at shortstop is short.

Red Sox's David Hamilton: Another error Friday
Hamilton went 0-for-3 and committed an error in Friday's 7-0 loss to the Angels.
After making an immediate splash in his first game up from the minors -- Hamilton homered in his first at-bat -- the infielder's made errors in two straight games that have led to unearned runs. He was not the only player with defensive miscues, and Red Sox manager Alex Cora doesn't have many options at shortstop, so he needs Hamilton to improve. Romy Gonzalez (wrist) is battling an injury, and the manager has said in the past that Pablo Reyes is not considered an everyday player.

Red Sox's David Hamilton: Commits key mistake in loss
Hamilton went 1-for-4 with a stolen base in Thursday's extra-inning loss to the Orioles.
Hamilton notched his first stolen base of the season following a fourth-inning single, but that highlight was wiped out when he failed to step on second base on what looked like a routine double play in the eighth inning. The next batter (Anthony Santander) launched a two-run homer to give Baltimore the lead. From a fantasy perspective, the stolen base far outweighs the defensive lapse, though it'll be important for Hamilton to keep mistakes in the field to a minimum if he's to maintain a significant role in the wake of the season-ending shoulder injury to Trevor Story.

Red Sox's David Hamilton: Sits against lefty
Hamilton is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Orioles.
Hamilton will take a seat on the bench along with fellow left-handed hitters Reese McGuire, Enmanuel Valdez and Wilyer Abreu as the Red Sox stock up on some extra right-handed bats against Orioles southpaw Cole Irvin. With Trevor Story (shoulder) lost for the season, Hamilton is expected to get an extended look in a strong-side platoon role at shortstop.

Red Sox's David Hamilton: Working in platoon at shortstop
Red Sox manager Alex Cora said Tuesday that Hamilton and Romy Gonzalez will form a platoon at shortstop while Trevor Story (shoulder) is sidelined, Jen McCaffrey of The Athletic reports.
The left-handed hitting Hamilton should fill the strong side of the platoon, with Ceddanne Rafaela also expected to see some time in the middle infield. It will be the first extended run of playing time in the big leagues for Hamilton, who shined Sunday in his season debut by going 2-for-4 with a solo homer and a walk.

Red Sox's David Hamilton: Goes deep in season debut
Hamilton went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and a walk in Sunday's win over the Angels.
Hamilton's solo shot in the third inning was the first of four on the day for the Red Sox. It was his season debut after starting the year with Triple-A Worcester. He posted a .750 OPS with two long balls there before the promotion. He should continue seeing some big-league playing time with Trevor Story (shoulder) out.

Red Sox's David Hamilton: Summoned from Triple-A
Boston recalled Hamilton from Triple-A Worcester on Saturday, Chris Cotillo of The Springfield Republican reports.
Pablo Reyes started at shortstop Saturday and will probably get the first crack at filling in for Trevor Story (shoulder). Hamilton should also be in the mix, though, and is the more interesting of the two players for fantasy purposes after stealing 57 bases at Worcester and another two with the big club in 2023. He was 3-for-18 with two home runs in his first five games with Worcester this season.

Red Sox's David Hamilton: Set to travel with Red Sox
Hamilton is expected to join the Red Sox after Trevor Story injured his left shoulder Friday, Chris Cotillo of The Springfield Republican reports.
Story left Friday's game in the top of the fourth inning after landing on his left shoulder awkwardly while attempting a diving grab. Hamilton started the season with Triple-A Worcester and has gone 3-for-18 with two home runs and two RBI. If Story is placed on injured list, Hamilton would provide depth at shortstop behind Pablo Reyes.

Red Sox's David Hamilton: Headed to Worcester
Hamilton was optioned to Triple-A Worcester on Thursday.
Hamilton made a brief big-league debut in 2023 and struggled to a .121/.256/.182 line across only 39 plate appearances. He's been a prolific base stealer at every minor-league level, which makes him a name to monitor should he get another chance in Boston.

Red Sox's David Hamilton: Starts at second base
Hamilton started at second base and went 1-for-3 with a double in Monday's spring game against Detroit.
Hamilton, who can play both middle infield positions, made a second consecutive start at second base since Boston announced Vaughn Grissom (groin) could miss Opening Day. The frontrunner to replace Grissom is Enmanuel Valdez, whose glove is not as sound as Hamilton's but projects a better bat. Hamilton is 3-for-16 over six Grapefruit League games.

Red Sox's David Hamilton: Undergoes thumb surgery
Hamilton underwent surgery Thursday to repair a torn UCL in his left thumb, Christopher Smith of The Springfield Republican reports.
Hamilton suffered the injury recently at Triple-A Worcester and will be sidelined for the remainder of the season. The 25-year-old put up a .438 OPS over 15 games during his brief time with the Red Sox this season.

Red Sox's David Hamilton: Sent back to Worcester
The Red Sox optioned Hamilton to Triple-A Worcester on Thursday, Mac Cerullo of the Boston Herald reports.
With Wilyer Abreu returning from the paternity list, Hamilton will end up being Boston's roster casualty. The 25-year-old infielder is just 4-for-33 across 15 games in the majors this season.

Red Sox's David Hamilton: Brought up by Boston
Hamilton was recalled from Triple-A Worcester on Monday, Ian Browne of MLB.com reports.
The Red Sox deactivated infielder Pablo Reyes (elbow) and outfielder Wilyer Abreu (paternity list) Monday, so Hamilton was brought up to help fill the void. He'll provide depth in the middle infield while Reyes is on the shelf, but Hamilton may not get the chance to play as frequently as he did in June and July, when he picked up 10 starts at shortstop and hit .138 with two stolen bases over 34 plate appearances in total. While he's with the Red Sox, Hamilton could at least represent a useful option off of the bench thanks to his speed.

Red Sox's David Hamilton: Optioned to Triple-A
The Red Sox optioned Hamilton to Triple-A Worcester on Friday, Mac Cerullo of the Boston Herald reports.
With Yu Chang (wrist) returning from the 60-day injured list Friday, Hamilton will serve as the Red Sox's roster casualty in order to free up a spot in Boston's crowded infield. Hamilton slashed just .138/.265/.207 over 13 games during his stint in the majors, though he could return later this season if he puts up numbers consistent with his .838 OPS in Triple-A.

Red Sox's David Hamilton: Days in big leagues numbered
Hamilton is expected to be sent down to Triple-A Worcester when the Red Sox activate Yu Chang (wrist) from the injured list Thursday or Friday, Chris Cotillo of The Springfield Republican reports.
The Red Sox are getting healthier in the middle infield with Chang coming off the IL with Pablo Reyes (abdominal) also likely to be activated in the coming days. Hamilton has filled in the last two weeks with a just a .503 OPS in 12 games, and his time in the majors should end soon.

Hamilton has already racked up two steals in three games at the major-league level after logging 27 thefts in 52 contests for Triple-A Worcester. The shortstop has gone 1-for-5 with a walk and two runs scored. He has a chance to carve out a strong-side platoon role while Pablo Reyes (abdomen) is on the injured list for the next 10 days at a minimum.
